Damir it’s guys like you and Mike that are keeping the push pull alive. IMHO there is nothing better tone wise. Love seeing y’all’s guitars being brought back to life.. slim

Mike, thank you my friend ðŸ‘... JR yes, Henry is recovering right now from his injuries, so this project is put on the back burner until he gets to feel better again...

Well done Damir. It's a great thing that you are doing there. Looks like Stevie Wonder took a try at drilling that old changer finger!
One thing is apparent - there are some very helpful people that you can choose from to get your project finished to a high standard. Oh by the way, you need to tell Henry to let go of the bowling ball next time he plays.

| Stuff happens, as we all well know Damir. My prayers to Henry for full recovery, and to you Damir, for persistence in seeing this project thru. Am very familiar myself with those “back burners†and the pain I endure when things go “ back a**wardsâ€! 😯 All the best wishes for easy goings from here on out. Staying tuned. |

I deeply apologize to Damir for have to put this on back burner until my shoulder heals. This is really going to be an awesome guitar and really don’t lack that much, just basically, putting it back together. All the slow stuff is done like cleaning and polishing and flocking. As soon as I get to where I can start back on it, I will. Now I can’t even zip up my blue jeans.lol

yes Sir, he did a great job, this guitar was pretty much trashed when I got it, it took a lot of work and money to bring it to where it’s now ...

Some one sent me a pm on how I made the necks look so good. I used an orbital sander with 800 grit sandpaper. really puts a nice finiish on them that looks factory and takes about 10;minutes per neck. Of course, fret boards have to be off.i have also jeweled necks but take s a long time and really doesn’t look as good as this method. Can’t really mess them up.
